Fun and Colorful Birthday!

After a nice long break, I'm excited to share this week's card for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge! Check out this fun and colorful inspiration cuppy! :)


DEEtails:

It's been a while since I made my last layered border punch card (one of my favorite techniques, by the way), so I was eager to create one for this week's challenge. I simply punched out strips of Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Island Indigo, and Early Espresso card stock using various border punches (Scallop Edge, Scallop Trim, Dotted Scallop Ribbon, Pinking Hearts, and Eyelet Border). Then I layered them over each other. I die cut a PTI Fillable Frames die in Melon Mambo and stamped the cute sentiment from SU!'s A Word for You. Then I punched out the cute little cuppy using the Cupcake Builder punch and Create a Cupckae stamp from Stampin' Up! and tied a little bit of Baker's Twine around the cupcake liner. What do you think?

Come play along with the sweeties over at the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. Hope to see you there!

Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge!

Hello dears! Today I'm here to share my card for the newest Pals Paper Arts Challenge!


This week's challenge is a Color Challenge and I'm certainly not singing the blues about this one :)


Be sure to pop over to Pals Paper Arts to check out some more inspirational cards by the PPA DT. Plus, we have two new Design Team Members, so be sure to say hello!

Here are the DEEtails:

I stamped the beautiful clock image from SU!'s Forever Young in Not Quite Navy on Very Vanilla card stock. I matted it with Baja Breeze card stock and tucked some Not Quite Navy striped Grosgrain ribbon underneath. I adhered it to a Not Quite Navy card and embellished the stamped image. I added some Designer buttons, threaded with Linen Thread, some Itty Bitty Punched flowers adorned with a Rhinestone Jewel, and a Jewelry Tag stamped with the sentiment from SU!'s Tiny Tags.

There are some changes with the Pals Paper Arts Challenges and you'll definitely want to be in the know. We have even extended the deadline for participation to one week so there's more time to join in the fun. We can't wait to see what you have created! And remember that the Pals Paper Arts Challenges welcome all products and players. Hope you'll play along!

I {Heart} Ribbon Challenge 14

I hate having to change up the ribbon challenge rules, but I'm trying to find the format that works the best, so I'm changing things up yet again...

Here's how it will go... I'll be posting a new challenge on the 1st of each month. Each challenge will go down the end of the day on the last day of the month, which will hopefully give you lots of time to play (and play again). I'll only be hosting one challenge each month, which will allow me to give out prizes (which I know you love). Monthly prizes will consist of ribbon (of course) and possibly other goodies if I'm feeling generous! Winners will be announced on the 1st Wednesday of each month (because I just like the sound of Winner Wednesday!). I'm hoping to post a card (and reminder) for the challenge on each Wednesday that follows. Did you get all that?

So now, without futher ado, here's our challenge!


Let's ring in the new year with some metallic ribbon! Gold, silver, bronze, something with sparkles... Anything will do!

You'll have until Tuesday, January 31st to link up your card or project featuring metallic ribbon!
